Caesar Salad with Dressing
Why is it they charge so much for a Caesar Salad when they are this easy to make! I made my Caesar Salad Dressing without the anchovies because my husband doesn’t like them but I’m telling you, don’t leave them out! Even if you don’t like them, they add that certain flavor that is what makes a Caesar Salad a Caesar Salad!

You can actually make it without mayo (despise the stuff). I make this with a very similar recipe, but mayo is never added because it’s not really needed (imo).

Interesting! I do make my own mayonnaise from scratch. Do you substitute it with something else or just leave it out?

Just leave it out. Many caesar dressing recipes don’t use it. I avoid mayo like the plague.

I’ve got to try this, looks great!
About the anchovies..I just read in “Bon Appetit” magazine, “there are two kinds of people: those who love anchovies and those who don’t (but really should).
I’ve always thought them to be not that appetizing, but am coming around and can see the value of a tiny addition of them after reading that article and this recipe!
